Yes every country should have the right to take defensive countermeasure as per their own threat perception, But an Indo-bangladesh clash is seems to be impossible in decades to come..long live bangladesh..

Why BD always inducts second hand planes that too gifted by some one ? And then dream of matching Indians and Burmese ?

Every big power knows we are surrounded by hostile big neighbours. This is why Russia is selling us NEW armamaments including 8 Mig-29SMT, 16 YAK-130 training jets and probably a sq. or half of Su-30MK2 that will cost us $850 million. China is supplying us with NEW armaments that include a sq. of F-7BGI and 44 MBT-2000. The cost of Chinese purchase is $800 million.

Now, about the purchase from the USA. It is not really a gift. USA is the policeman of the world, but it cannot just send its troops anywhere it wants in the peacekeeping works. A small country like BD fills in the small part of that gap. It sends its troops to the death traps in foreign countries.

As a token of gratitude USA sends us tiny military gifts in exchange, but these are not totally free of cost. Many of our 800 battle tanks were also gifted by the USA which they took from Iraq. We are expecting a huge quantity of military hardware gifts, also not a total free, when USA disengages from Afghanistan in 2014. US govt has explicitly said about that.

This is how we have both new and used armaments. All the three big powers are helping us getting a strong foothold so that our neighbours do not try to bully us.

What are the interests of these 3 big powers by helping bangladesh militarity as you have mentioned?

USA is asking BD to take many of its armaments when it withdraws from Afghanistan in 2014. You can expect then the latest version of C-130 in BAF/BA.

you mean the newest variant of C-130?

which aircraft r u mentioning????

I meant the F 7 n MiG 29

you mean the newest variant of C-130?

Unfortunately it is not C-190H but C-130E. But, I have heard BAF may modify the 4 Hercules to 'H' grade.
